Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has recently completed a procurement process for a flexible framework aimed at providing outcome-focused home care services, including Technology Enabled Care (TEC) for adults aged 18 and over residing in Derby. This open procedure commenced publication on 31 July 2025, with important deadlines including an expression of interest closure on 27 August 2025, and submission by 28 August 2025. The final contracts were awarded on 1 May 2026, following an active stage initiated on 1 April 2026. The framework encapsulates five lots across various regions within Derby, with the strategic objective to enhance independence, dignity, and well-being of care recipients through innovative services. The sector targeted falls under health and social work services, a segment demanding CQC registration with a minimum rating of 'Good' or 'Outstanding'.

With the aim of reducing institutional care demand, this tender opens significant business growth avenues for providers specialising in adult care services. Companies with existing capabilities in deploying Technology Enabled Care to support personalised care services will find this opportunity particularly beneficial. Given the procurement method's light touch regime and suitability for SMEs, providers with a local presence or willing to establish within a 10-mile radius of Derby would be well-positioned to partake in this framework. Such initiatives not only extend existing market player roles but also encourage new entrants focused on delivering advanced caregiving solutions tailored to bolster community living support practices.
